El-Hadra is the rhythmic Trance-Meditation of the Sufis. Recorded in the rhythmic trance style of the Sufi mystical tradition. Soaring phrasing and light pulsating tablas are supported by ethereal sounds from the zither. The pulse of the rhythm is very important because it corresponds with the breath and heartbeat at the same time. This leads to FANA - the devotion to the almightiness of Allah. Starting slowly then accelerating and intensifying el-Hadra is breathtaking, a world class masterpiece in 53 minutes in length with no pauses whirling ecstasy.
